DotA Utilities

The beta version of the upcoming DotA 6.75 map has just got leaked along with a great list of recent changelogs. The Beta 5 map features the new Roshan's location and some hero changes whereas the changelogs reveal tons of interesting balancing, content and a new hero Frost Wyrm.

Final Update: DotA 6.75 is officially released. Map is now available for download.

The Roshan change pushes the ancient very close to the Scourge's middle tower. Beastmaster can pull the dragons straight over the tower and farm them using the tower. Too imba. The ancient camp has to move, maybe swap with the secret shop?

good grief! so much falimg on Roshan's new position, it is actually fair now! neither the scourge nor sentinal have a advantage to get aegis anymore, i agree with the ancients being to close to the tower, but things will change. As for pheonix, how broken! man! Pitlord is coming back with a vengeance as well! Great map IceFrog!

BS Decrease Rupture CD.. ~_~ too imbaAlso finger of death bounce is just too imba..As for roshan, completely retarded location. I think it can easily be seen if it's warded by that place. Also look at that high cliffs! I think it can be easily be done by furion , preventing him to hit from roshan O_O

LOL fanboys are roaming again on a dota only website, lol steals from dota bud, not the other way around, take your cartoonish game and yourself, go to hell, sit on a hot stone and wait for it to snow, thats what i think of lol. And people, i'm sure IceFrog is going to buff pheonix up big time, till we hear everyone rant how OP he is after the map is released. So just wait for the official map

People, roshes new location evens out the playing field, all the whiners will eventuall get used to it, i think this is a brilliant change as the scourge and sentinel have even playing field for an aegis opportunity

U suck boys, the idiots says: "give back icarus skills" retardS! they can't adapt to the changes, go to play other things.Changes come or not, are accepted if they do not like can take off for two or three useless unless anyone noticing the difference.

Guys .. Dont hate the new phoenix.. for me overheat is more imba.. try to play new phoenix u well see the difference.. just get dagger!! bdw u can use overheat then use sunray.. ^_^ sorry for my bad english :p

People, Pheonix just became broken! the overheat is broken beyond belief! and spammable! imagine him in a team fight and he ulti's after they are unable to attck, add earthshaker and enigma? sandking? DICK!

I think after the international... Icarus Dive is imbalance since it can disarm 5 people in large area plus, it can escape through cliff.... Roshan replacement is good because the old place giving some advantage to the Scourge/Dire.. Slark regenerations skill is imbalance in my opinion.. Btw Venom's ulti affect tower? wtf

all this flaming on IceForgs dota, lets see you people balance this out? All these changes are for a BETA release, not the official, and nothing will ever be balanced in dota, because people play it like that! These changes are a nice refresher to the whole game, so lets take it more positively?

for the AI improvement I wanna see smarter ways of approaching battle by mellee heroes such as troll, void etc against ranged heroes. They simply just take way too much damage before just attacking the hero.

Very sad. Stop flaming Icefrog about the change. If you are sickk of it go play LoL. He will fix them man this is beta 17 right now its in 34 or more so stfu and play. TI2 is over now (congrags IG!) so the release is imminent!CANT WAIT

"so much falimg on Roshan's new position, it is actually fair now! neither the scourge nor sentinal have a advantage to get aegis anymor"dude wake up sentinel has adv on the runes and scourge has adv from rosh that is simple and faired man rosh dont need to change place man let that map stay here he needs to be.

Dude, why dont you wake up? Even with the rune advantage, the sentinel still have a huge disadvantage when it comes to the placement of Rosh, go read your manual correctly, this new placement is exactly what the pam needed to even things out. You should think much further and state facts before telling people to wake up. really

Hey Icefrog, i liked some of the changes but... uve brought in too much of exposure for the heroes.Nyx assasin:- i can understand that nyx assasin isnt that much of a ''team fight hero'' but i totally suggest u keep his 3rd skill just the way it was and never change it because its already good enough.venomancer:- poison nova on buildings??? thats waaay too ridiculous... but if u boost his aghanim's scepter by allowing his ulti to affect magic immune targets then that would be a great use of his ulti.Roshan:- dont change his place at all!!. cuz his fixed place is very well balanced. if u exchange his place with the ancients its gonna be rllllly unbalanced in my point of view.Lion:- finger of death is waaay too powerful to affect another target. and it will be stupid to have a nuking double kill at the beginning of a teamfight.Bane Elemental:- enfeeble needs an increased cooldown due to the massive 120 dmg reduction.Silencer:- his 3rd skill was already well planned and made.he has to get the kill in order to get +2 intelligence, cuz that intelligence will be very useful for early teamfights. besides, +2 intelligence is a big boost, so having +1 for not getting a direct kill would be balanced.Bristleback:- his quill spray stacking dmg is high enough. he can spam it alot + 3rd skill passive makes it even more spamming. so increasing the dmg cap is not so clever.Phoenix:- hmmm....what can i say??.... i think ''overheat'' is at an early stage of balancing so i hope it becomes more balanced later, but for now u should realise that 400 dmg is too high for a spammable skill.i rlly loved his ''dive'' skill...it was a perfect way of escaping and counter'ing a team fight haha. phoenix is mainly a suprise hero and a survivalist.... so his dive skill will be a great disadvantage for his gameplay.Note:- im not a fan of nerubian assasin's ''intelligence items'' based gamestyle, i rlly avoid using dagon.u can increase the dmg cap of impale to 280. i would like nyx more if he would be more of a mid hero and late carry with agility based build.i hope u read this. i like giving my thoughts and opinions. my e-mail is dr.drooz_devil@hotmail.com ill be happy to help with the balances lol
